Thanks for the advice Ken, I will pass on to Barry.
I know Windstar sails like she is on rails under right conditions / sails and setup .
With the Robbe brand name behind her, she has a real feeling of presence and quality on the water - wish she was mine !

She is back in dry dock for more fitting out by Lee who constructed and owns the model.
She is quite a beast at 1/72 scale about 6ft / 2mtr long. Fleetscale kit/parts i think ?.
Special significance for me that my son has served on HMS Iron Duke.

Hi Phil,
Wonder if your son was on board when I had a look round Iron Duke during the Exponaval in Valparaiso naval harbour many years ago?
When not at the exhibition discussing the COMMS fit for the OPVs Armada de Chile have since built I was on the other side of the dock doing some upgrades to a 1kW HF transmitter on a Leander frigate. Took longer than expected to upgrade the SW so I nearly ended up sailing with her. Might have been fun😉
Cheers, Doug 😎

Hi Martin ,ref Juno - here is a response from our club member Dean who built "Juno"

Juno is quite a basic flat bottomed boat, mainly due to my very basic modelling skills, and is intended to be a bunkers barge. She is roughly 1.24 scale, approximately 43 inches by 8 inches and is made from recycled and up cycled materials wherever possible. She has a single rudder and propeller, powered by a single motor from a drill, and two 6v lead acid batteries.
She is a totally freelance design, but I took inspiration from Humber barges such as the Humber Princess, which I used as a rough plan for the deck layout.

Vosper RTTL at OXFORD

This very large Vosper RTTL was active at the Oxford Model Boat Club open day on the 7th July. At aprox 6 feet long, it is the work of Terry Gregory (hull and electronics) and Paul Izzard( superstructure). It is a spectacular performer and beautifully finished though the enormous wake means that it is normally run solo on the water.

Sandown Train & Hobby Show - RC Boats Display

The Lake Illawong Model Boats club and Task Force 72 Fleet Base Victoria had a combined display at the 2019 Sandown Train and Hobby Show. This video is compiled from the first 2 of the 3 days. We even had a pond erected, but unfortunately a few small leaks restricted its use.
